The purpose of this research is to conduct a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of a noninvasive and quantitative tool for classification/diagnosis of breast masses. The main objective of this proposal is to test the SAVE (Sub-Hertz Analysis of Visco-Elasticity) method on a patient population of sufficient size to determine the sensitivity and specificity for malignant-benign discrimination of breast masses.

Determine the efficacy of the SAVE method by correlating its results with pathology in a pathology in a population of patients with suspicious breast masses.
Timeframe: Before biopsy or at least 2 weeks post biopsy
Determine the efficacy of SAVE method in classifying non-specific masses in a group of breast patients on the follow-up list.
Timeframe: Before biopsy or at least 2 weeks post biopsy
